Ingredients:

• 1.5 lb (680 g) pork tenderloin

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)

• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pork: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the pork: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin and sear on all sides for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

3. Make the honey garlic sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and dried thyme or rosemary (if using).

4. Bake the pork: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the seared pork. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

5. Rest the pork: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

6. Serve: Drizzle the sauce from the skillet over the sliced pork and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips:

• For a crispy exterior, sear the pork tenderloin in a cast-iron skillet.

• You can serve this dish with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes to complete the meal.
